He was quiet and very reserved. She was outspoken, with an opinion on every subject. He sat in front of her for two weeks, but she never acknowledged his existence. On a dismal All Hallows Eve, during an arduous game of cribbage, a connection was fostered.... This connection would continue into long deep discussions of movies starring Jamie Lee Curtis and the emotional appeal of dog movies... Then months later, a pandemic would strike...love would blossom...and finally, after a fun All Hallows Eve party, he would let her know that it was time to go pick out a ring. Three weeks later, he asked her the question she never thought would be asked. Her response? Yes. And now...he and she, the kid, two heathen cats and a dog (and possibly a tarantula) will be coming together as a family. Sometimes...you just have to open your eyes.
